Problems solved by technology

Although, the above soles are good for weight distribution generally by distributing foot load over a larger area, the effect on nerve stimulation for improving the ability for balance is very small.
Loss of balance ability, however, is a very big problem in connection with a number of diseases suc

Embodiment Construction

[0010]It is the objective of the invention to provide new means for improving the balance for people, and generally to provide an improvement in the art. It is in particular an objective to provide a liquid-filled insole for increasing a person's balance ability. This objective is achieved with an insole as described in the following.

[0011]The balance improving insole according to the invention is built up by two membrane foils, of which at least one has a very low elasticity and high stiffness, in between which there is provided a low viscosity liquid, typically water. The result is that the insole reacts extremely fast to load changes by flow of the liquid from one area of the foot to another area of the foot. Thereby, the balance response gets faster for a person using such insoles.

[0012]It has been found that improvement of the balance reduces the load on the foot sole and increases the blood circulation in the foot and the foot sole. This is a great advantage for diabetes patie...

Abstract

An insole made of two membrane foils, between which a liquid is provided. The membrane foils have very little elasticity and high stiffness to respond quickly to load by pushing liquid quickly from an area under the foot to another area of the foot, by which the balance response is made faster for a person who uses such insoles. Especially in the field of multiple sclerosis, post-stroke rehabilitation, golf and race have such insoles have proven to be very advantageous.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of Danish Application No. PA 2013 70812 filed Dec. 20, 2013, and PCT / DK2014 / 050435 filed Dec. 17, 2014, International Publication No. WO 2015 / 090331 A1, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety as if fully set forth herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to liquid-filled insoles. In particular, it relates to an insole for footwear, wherein the insole comprises a lower membrane foil and an upper membrane foil that are mutually joined along a closed path, for example along the edge region, for example by welding, for thereby forming a closed space, wherein the space is filled with liquid. The invention also relates to the use of such insole in a shoe suitable during therapeutics, rehabilitation, walking and standing work and sports, such as golf sport.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION / DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART[0003]There are disclosed a number of fluid-filled insoles, for example in European Patent EP1891...
